To Damaskeen Steel.

The beautiful damaskaened surface
exhibited by the Woolwich and Elswick
steel guns is achieved by means of a
special solution composed of the follow
ing ingredients: Two ounces of tine
ture of steel. one ounce nitric acid. one
ounce copper sulphate. II ounces
spirits of nitre, II ounces spirits of
wine and one gallon of water. This
solution is smeared over the parts, and
when dry another coat is put on, the
result being fine brown color, which,
if not dark enough. is made so by a
repetition of the operation, six coats
being sufficient to make the surface
black. The acid is then killed by
washing with soda solution, and the
whole rubbed with hard brush of
''file card until smooth, after which it
is rubbed with oily waste. Other solu-
tions for this purpose are in use at
some establishments of high repute
one of the most important of these
consisting of 4 mixture of one ounce
each of sulphur, tincture of steel. nitric
acid and spirits of nitre, with one
fourth ounce sulphuric acid, one-half
ounce each of mercuric chloride and
copper sulphate, and one quart of
naturalization BUDGET

Cleanliness thc Most Important Point in
Producing Good Article.
In regard to butter. the kind and
quality of the heritage and the charac-
ter of the grain ration influence and
affect its excellence much, but cleanli-
ness in the manufacture is, after all,
more important matter. This, says
recent foreign writer, the farmers
wives of Normandy and Flanders seem
tx understand; but it is not equally
well understood everywhere. At Is
igny, n place in great repute for max
ing butter which sells in the Paris
markets for an equivalent of sixty to
seventy cents a pound, extraordinary
care is taken with the vessels used for
the milk and cream. After using they
are rubbed with green nettles in the
first place, then plunged into boiling
water, where they remain for half an
hour, and are afterwards dried before
charcoal fire. In Normandy every
household keeps thermometer in the
milk room, and tLey control the tenn
perature in such a way that it is kept
between Is and IA C.-54 and 50 F. In
winter there is tendency for the mer-
y
er. The first is corrected by an open
charcoal fire, and the other by splash
ing the stone flags of the floor with
cold water. The cream is skinned
into tall, narrow-mouthed vessels, that
form preventing in Il measure the ac-
cess of air, which causes the cream
to become rancid. The churning is
done very early in the morning, often
the second, and at the latest every
third day. If the greatest attention to
cleanliness is found essential to high
quality in butter when it is not difficult
to control the summer temperature be-
tween so and so degrees F., how much
more important is cleanliness in eli
mates where the mean temperature is
20, and the possible, 80 or 40 degrees
higher.-B. +. johnson, IN Rural Neao

The Service Rendered by Water in It's Pas
sage Through the Soil.
Water is the principal food of plants,
forming as it does from 80 to % per
cent. of their bulk in growing state
But like all other food it must be given
en- moderation and not to excess. A
large quSntity of water passes through
u plant during its period of growth
This is Indispensable. as the solid food
rs carried throug', the cellular struct-
ulre of plants by water, which entering
by the roots passes through the stem to
the leaves where the surplus escapes as
Sapor into the air. This water con-
'tains the solid plant food in solution,
and the quantity of water passing
&lrough a plant depends very much
upon the amount of plant food held in
solution. This must be obvious be-
cause if the solution is weak and con-
fains a small quantity of food sub
stances a larger quantity of it must
pass through the plants to supply the
matter needed for their growth just
AS when the maple sap is thin and
weak more of it must be boiled down to
make pound of sugar. so when the
sap of the soil is thin and more watery
the plant must evaporate more of it to
procure a pound of solid substance.
1t has been found by careful observa-
ton that on poor soil 2.693 pounds OF
water have passed through the plants
TO make one pound of wheat grain; that
200 pounds of water is required and
used by the plants for every pound
of straw and grain together, and
that for each pound of mineral plant
food taken up by the wheat crop
1000 pounds of water are evaporated
through the leaves. Glover and other
broad-leaved plants pass still larger
quantity of water through their foliage.
This water exists in the soil, not in a
solid state, as in land that is saturated
and filled with it, but it must be in an
+. active movable condition and so dis
tributed among the fine particles of the
soil and held in suspension by them by
capillary attraction, that air can circu-

Why PEOPLE MARRY.
ff1hlng Reasons Which Induced Some Men
to Commit MatrImony

to Commit Matrimony
1t would be an interesting and in
structive lesson if. in a community of
married people representing various
social grades, we could request the in
dlyiduals, both husbands and wives, to
inform us clearly and truthfully of the
reasons which induced them to select
their respective partners for life 1t
would be found in many instances the
| most insignificant trifies had influenced
many of them in this most delicate
matter.
AS an instance in point, take the
| case OF the wealthy young Quaker who
married his wife simply because she
was the happy possessor of a pin
cushion! Here is the story: He had
been out and his necktie became dis
arranged. when, happening to meet
two young ladies of his own persuasion
with whom he was acquainted, he in
quired whether either of them could
give him pin. One of the girls inn
mediately produced from her pocket
natty little pin-cushion full of pins,
which she handed to him with a be-
witching smile. 1t is more than prob
able that this smile and the good looks
of the fair donor had a great deal to
do with the young fellows choice, as
he proposed to her and was accepted
the next day. But he always sturdily
maintained that he was influenced at
the time by nothing more than the pin
cushion.
Another illustration from life: A
well-educated and intelligent gentle
man, on being asked how he came to
select the young woman who eventual
" became his wife, and whom he had
first met in Il well-known drapery
establishment. replied: Because L

DOW a Chicago Firm Defrauds Sewing
Girls systematically.
The few belongings of this small fam
lily were nicely stored away in the one
room, and the three motherless chill
drcn began the struggle for self-main-
tenance. The little one could do moth
ing, of course, so the responsibility
rested upon the shoulders of the four
teen-year-old sister.
The first thing she did after the funer-
al was to sean the papers for advertise
ments in the "help wanted" columns.
She found in an evening paper an adj
vertisement for girl to run knitting
machine. 1t was from a well-known
firm on prominent street. She ap-
piled and was given 4 job. After she
had been there couple of DAYS she
saw a constant change in the many
faces around her. Girls that were there
yesterday morning were not there this
morning. But new girls were engaged.
She began to make inquiries among
the other girls and found that the girls
left because they could not make
enough to live on. The night of the
second day she determined 10 see about
it, and asked the forewoman for her
time. She was given a card with two
days full time credited. She had made
two jackets and one dozen bustles in
the two days. When she presented the
card TO the Office she was told that she
owed the firm twenty cents balance for
the use of the machine and steam power.
She was credited with 20 cents apiece
for two jackets CHATS 40 cents) and
with so cents for the dozen bustles
CHATS 40 cents). She was charged 45
cents a day for the use of machine and
steam power (that's 80 cents), leaving
= balance of 20 cents due the big firm.
At this rate she would have to pawn
her soul at the end of week 10 pay the
firm for the bad air she breathed while
using the machine and steam power.
This firm keeps a standing advertise
ment i'll the evening paper, and small
army of girls pass through the factory
every week. They get the jackets and
bustles made for nothing except the
wear and tear on the machines and loss

WHEAT IN AMERICA.

It's Introduction Into the Present Limits OF
the United States.
Concerning the introduction of wheat
into America reliable information is
obtainable. 1t may be difficult at the
present day to realize the fact that
wheat was at one time unknown in
America; yet prior to the discovery of
this continent by Columbus there was
no cereal in America approaching in
nature to the wheat plant II was not
until 1880 that wheat found its way
into Mexico, and then only by chance.
A slave of Cortez found a few grains of
wheat in a parcel of rice and showed
them TO his master, who ordered them
to be planted. The result showed that
wheat would thrive well on Mexican
soil, and to-day one of the finest wheat
valleys in the world is near the Mexican
capital. From Mexico the cereal found
its way to Peru. Marie D'Escobar.
wife of Don Diego de Chauves, carried
a few grains to Lima, which were
planted, the entire product being used
for seed for several successive crops.
At Quito, Ecuador, monk of the
order of ST. Francis, named Fra Jodosi
Bixi, introduced a new cereal; and II Is
said that the jar which contained the
seed is still preserved by the monks OF
Quito. Wheat was introduced into the
present limits of the United States con-
temporaneously with the settlement OF
the country by the English and other
European settIers.-Ainsi,sg World.
